That's what it looks like to me.  For example:

$ apt-cache policy smartmontools
smartmontools:
  Installed: 5.1.18-1
  Candidate: 5.1.18-2
  Version Table:
     5.1.18-2 0
        500 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Packages
 *** 5.1.18-1 0
        500 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What happens when you run 'apt-cache policy abiword'
